Braves RHP Spencer Strider (oblique) to start season on IL
- On March 23, the Atlanta Braves placed Spencer Strider on the injured list with a strained oblique after scratching him from Monday's spring training finale in Bradenton.
- Strider, 27, is two years removed from right elbow reconstruction surgery and missed most of 2024 before returning last year, going 7-14 with a 4.45 ERA in 23 starts.
- In spring training, Spencer Strider posted a 2-0 record with a 3.24 ERA in 8 1/3 innings and logged five strikeouts in one outing, while Didier Fuentes has been penciled in to take his turn.
- The injury leaves the Braves with a thin Opening Day rotation, and Walt Weiss said the club hopes Strider misses only a couple of weeks but oblique injuries could extend into April.
- Multiple starters including Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, A.J. Smith-Shawver and Joey Wentz are sidelined, limiting external options as Giolito remains unsigned three days before Opening Day.
